New Zealand is in for a rare, red-hot Subaru WRX special edition release, with ten 2.4T AKAs available from late May 2023.
Brace yourselves for the upcoming release of the highly anticipated Subaru WRX 2.4T AKA special edition. This limited edition model, named after the Japanese word for red, will be exclusively available in the New Zealand market. With only ten units available, this is a rare opportunity for performance car enthusiasts to own a piece of iconic Subaru history.
The WRX 2.4T AKA comes in a striking red colour and offers two transmission options: a 6-speed manual and Subaru Performance Transmission (automatic). Considering the evolving automotive landscape, these manual models may be among the last of their kind in New Zealand.
Priced at $59,990*, the WRX 2.4T AKA is packed with additional features that enhance both aesthetics and performance. The list includes STI 18" black alloy wheels, sports bucket seats for enhanced support and stability, an STI body kit, a sports mesh grille, an STI strut brace for improved handling, an STI gear shifter, STI push button start, black WRX badges, limited-edition AKA badging, and STI cross drilled rotors. Each model also comes with a presentation key box and a numbered limited edition keyring.
Subaru has a history of producing highly sought-after limited edition models that appreciate in value over time. Collectors have witnessed the rapid rise in value of previous special Subaru models, such as the Saigo WRXs and STIs. The WRX AKA is poised to follow suit, presenting a unique investment opportunity for savvy buyers.
